What Our Members Say
“My AVM membership has really rejuvenated my sense of pride in my career and given me a route to meaningfully contribute towards our important profession. I have thrown myself into my membership to try to explore as many opportunities as possible and to connect with others in the volunteer management industry. It is true what they say – you really do get out what you put in, and I am absolutely reaping the rewards of this.”
Nicola Monk – NHS Voluntary Partnerships Manager
“The connections I’ve made with other volunteer managers, through my AVM membership, have been invaluable. It’s these connections that sustain my learning and development between attending the L&D events and annual conference to share learning, solve problems together and bounce ideas around.”
Cass Kamara – Head of Volunteering, Parkinson’s UK
